 * Hi, first of all thank you for your answer. If I understand this well, I can 
   install a separate wordpress installation on a subdirectory with its own domain
   to develop a website for a client. Once done and approved, I can move it from
   my server to theirs with the same plugin I mentionned before ( duplicator ). 
   Now, for the theme, I can use a free theme so I wont use it against the TOS therefore
   I can copy it with the installation for the client is this right?
 * Now concerning the multisite question, for those clients that I will manage their
   websites for them, isnt it easier to have every clients website in one multisite?
   Or this is a bad practice because if he decides to move to somewhere else it 
   s going to be harder to copy from a multisite ( although I found a plugin that
   does exactly that ). within a multisite could I also use my premium them since
   the installation is mine? Wich brings again, the “if” they decide to go somewhere
   else or manage it themselves, the website wont be the same without that theme.
   If I can manage to not use multisite, it would be great but I want to be sure
   it is the best practice.
 * And another question ( sorry ) How do you guys charge for all this. Do you charge
   per actions, hourly, or a montthly plan? What is the average so I can figure 
   out a fair amount to charge, if it s not too much to ask and feel comfortable
   if you dont want to answer that one. This is all new to me and if someone else
   wants to give their opinions please feel free to do so as I am here to learn.
   Thanks again for your time 🙂
